ESPN and ABC sportscaster Sean McDonough, a graduate of Syracuse University and a former play-by-play announcer for the Syracuse Chiefs, returns to town tonight to broadcast tonight's Chiefs game against the Rochester Red Wings.

McDonough was broadcaster for the Chiefs from 1982 to 1984.

McDonough will join current Chiefs announcers Jason Benetti and Mike Couzens on WHEN AM-620. The game is at 6 p.m.

The Chiefs say that McDonough is the first in a line of broadcasters who will return this year to celebrate the 50th season of community ownership for the Syracuse franchise.

"The Chiefs have had some very successful radio announcers over the years," said Chiefs General Manager John Simone in a news release. "It's great to welcome Sean McDonough back to Syracuse to celebrate our 50th season of community ownership with us."
